Free the Navy SEALs Now
Investors Business daily ^ | December 10, 2009 | IBD editorial staff

Law: American heroes are arraigned for allegedly punching a terrorist in wartime. What happens to Tiger Woods isn't vital to our country's future. What happens to Matthew McCabe, Julio Huertas and Jonathan Keefe is.

People are more likely to recognize the names of Tiger's alleged bimbo eruptions than the names of these three Navy SEALs we sent into battle. They are not household names in a nation consumed with Climate Gate, the public option and the antics of billionaire athletes.

An administration consumed with apologies has said the architect of 9/11's massacre, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, must be given all the constitutional rights and privileges of the Americans he murdered. Our justice system, we are told, must be an example to the world, as if that will impress jihadists making IEDs in some faraway hideout.

Absolutely true, people are consumed about Woods, but haven’t a clue about any of the garbage being pushed by this administration. O’Reilly brought up the dropping of charges by Holder against the black Panthers outside the voting locations. He said they are going to call the political appointee tomorrow that dropped the charges...stay tuned.

You are absolutely dead on here. You know, I know the spin. I know the the whole game of "don't look at this hand while the other hand does this" but you made me feel shame tonight. I have followed the Seals plight, but as a former Marine, I am ashamed that I have not YET bothered to know their names.

Great post and great lesson for me.

I speak for no one but me.

Truthfully, the sailors are not imprisoned in any manner whatsoever. To do so for such a minor infraction would be considered as punishment, after which they could not be prosecuted.

If we are going to put soldiers on trial for lying, shouldn’t we put the commander in chief on trial for his lies?

Unbelievable. SEALs are caught being turds and everyone on Free Republic is right there defending them...because they are...”seals.” Anyone who defends these guys should really do an examine their values.

I consider Navy SEAL Jonathan Keefe a true Yorktown patriot!

More like -

“Unbelievable. SEALs are caught doing their jobs and a few gutless turds on Free Republic are right there attacking them...because they were doing their jobs as...”seals.” Anyone who gripes about these guys should really examine their values and why they even bother to come to FR.”

Ah that’s more like it.

I’m to the point of saying bring all the US military home since they are not allowed to do their jobs. They are not police. They are anti terrorist special forces. They grabbed him instead of dirting him, so kudos. To think they did anything wrong shows a person’s absolute ignorance of the real world.

Navy S.E.A.L.s are the most highly trained killing machines in the military. They are the elite of the elite and hold to codes of conduct on the battlefield that most people could not begin to understand. You are not worthy of one drop of these men’s sweat!

You really have no clue and are a victim of propaganda.

Really? Do you know exactly what happened? Do you condone lying to your chain of command (assuming you have any concept of chain of command)?

And that is why you are not worthy of being in the military let alone a seal.

Wow, we are rather quick to find guilt here are we not? This is merely another example of the PC (the Bolshevik’s would be proud) world in which we live.

Let me suggest that you stay on the left coast with your
Code Pinko mentality!
My family has an excellent military history dating back to the Civil War!
My father fought Nazi’s in Germany and was in the Berlin Airlift.
My broken back at 17 kept me out of the Air Force.
Don’t EVER insinuate that I have anything but RESPECT for our military!

The finding of guilt is for their board. Facts are facts. You demonstrate the way of the Bolshevik with your post (and your “frogginess”).....
